T206 1/1

[xplainer]

What they have done is ruin a classic card. Common or not.
I have thought long and hard about it and I can't find a reason why I would agree that this was a good idea.

I guess you could do this to any set. Gold stamp it 1/1 and it instantly becomes that. 75 Brett, Yount, etc.
But leave the pre war cards (especially the T206) alone.

But has it been ruined or just repacked? This board is always talking about the future of the hobby and the future of vintage. Paddy Livingstone can do a lot more for that future as a stamped 1/1 inside a modern product than it can as a low-grade common that means nothing to a lot of people.

If you're interested in the future, this is how the future learns these cards even exist.

I read that there is a Cobb 1 of 1.

Original T206 stamped 1/1 or the 1/1 parallel with Ty Cobb back made as part of the parallel set? I haven't seen any mention of an original T206 Cobb buyback on blowout.

If you go to the original post #1 and click the link and then click on the far left link on top advertising the Topps T206 series 5 hobby boxes for sale, is where I read it. And yes I can't figure out how to post a link and should've posted that I have not verified this (Cobb 1/1). Just hope no hof pitchers aren't involved.

So, the Ty Cobb mentioned is a fantasy Ty Cobb back?
